Architecture and art

Alexey Dushkin, the station's architect, has
long wished to unitilise stained glass in
decoration of a metro station, and the first
drawings date to preWorld War II times. In
1948, with the aid of a young architect
Alexander Strelkov, Dushkin came across the
renowned artist Pavel Korin, who agreed to
compose the artworks for the panels. The rest
of the station was designed around the glass
panels. Dushkin, taking the standard pylon
layout designed the overall impression to
resemble that of underground crypt.
It is best known for its 32 stained glass panels,
which are the work of Latvian artists E.
Veylandan, E. Krests, and M. Ryskin. Each
panel, surrounded by an elaborate brass
border, is set into one of the station's pylons
and illuminated from within. Both the pylons
and the pointed arches between them are faced
with pinkish Ural marble and edged with brass
molding. At the end of the platform is a
mosaic by Pavel Korin entitled "Peace
Throughout the World." The stained glass
